Dim sum from Empress Pavilion in Los Angeles's Chinatown

You’re supposed to eat dim sum in Los Angeles. If you’re going to do it, you have to do it at the Empress Pavillion in Chinatown. It looked a little fancy for my tastes, so I got mine to go and ate them in the parking lot. Authenticity is key; I don’t think the employees understood my words, as much my gestures.
